Deaconess Brice when you wake up tomorrow and find your sister no longer with you, dont cry for her. God took her hand and said your place that you worked so hard for over the many years I gave you is ready. Come go with me, as I walked with him, I remembered the love I had for you and your family, A smile came upon my face, I know my baby sister in time will be ok, because she's locked with love from Franklin and her loving children. Because The God we serve is too good to us.

Mrs. Burton was one of the residents where I used to work. She was such a kind-hearted loving person. Whenever I came to her room she always took the time to talk to me and she had plenty of wisdom.
May the peace of God give the family understanding of the loss. Remember
earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

Aunt Helen will truely be missed. I had known her since I was a young child. I remember going to visit Uncle C (Charles) and then sitting on the front porch with Aunt Helen. Those were the good ol' days. I know they are both now in a better place and my prayers are with them both.

To the Burton Family,
I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of your love one. Helen is just asleep, resting from the trials and tribulations of this world. God did not create mankind to die, that is why it hurt so much when our love ones die. The reason we suffer, grow old, and die is due to the disobedience of Adam which lead to death. God so lovingly put provisions in place through his only Begotten Son that anyone exercising faith in the ransom sacrifice can be resurrected and live in peace, happiness and harmony forever.
May the God of all love and peace grant you and your family the comfort that you need at this time.
